You are a civil engineer who has been given the task to monitor the excavation of road construction. It is deemed viable that it typically takes half an hour to excavate a cubic meter of soil using a typical backhoe that applies to soils within a two-meter depth from its NGL. This parameter includes hauling, piling, and other small movements within the area bound for excavation. Given that the volume to be excavated is 43m3 in your specified road station using only one backhoe, determine the exact total cost for this setup if the backhoe rent costs Php1800 per hour which includes its gasoline and other daily maintenance costs. The hourly wage paid to these two workers at every end of their daily shift is taken as Php104 for the backhoe operator and Php43 for the backhoe spotter. For work-life balance, you always make sure that there are only eight working hours per day with no overtime and no work on Sundays for all your workers. Note that the total cost does not include your salary as a civil engineer for the project and would not include any additional allowances for any of its equipment/labor costs. Base your final answer on the exact total working hours for this activity.

You are a civil engineer who has been given the task to monitor the excavation of road construction, It is deemed viable that it typically takes half an hour to excavate a cubic meter of soil using a typical backhoe that applies to solls within a two- meter depth from its NGL. This parameter includes hauling, piling, and other small movements within the area bound for excavation. Given that the volume to be excavated is 36m in your specified road station using only one backhoe, determine the exact total cost for this setup if the backhoe rent costs Php1800 per hour which includes its gasoline and other daily maintenance costs. The hourly wage paid to these two workers at every end of their daily shift is taken as Php101 for the backhoe operator and Php41 for the backhoe spotter.

Estimate the time required (in hours) for a dragline to excavate material to be placed and compacted on a parking lot construction site, where 7200 CCM of material is needed. Use the following information: Dragline size = 1.53 m³ Swing angle = 90° 4 Average depth of cut - 3.36 m Material sand and gravel Job efficiency = 45 min/h Soil shrinkage 12% Your Answer: Answer
The answer is 3830.43 LCM 6. As part of a road construction project, an excavation that is 2km long by 3m wide and 0.5m deep must be backfilled and compacted. The excavation will be backfilled with sand and gravel. What volume of (in LCM) of sand and gravel must be brought to site to complete this job?
Q#2 During excavation processes as a civil engineer what types of precautions should be taken and what are its types .
for Shovel Excavator Soil Type = dry clay -Rotation angle = 75° -State of work = average - State of management = average - Excavation height = 3.05 m Q:What is the efficency per hour? (Swelling)
a) Evaluate the performance of excavation in civil engineering works
An approach road for a bridge needs 60000 m3 of soil compacted to a void ratio of 0.7. There are two borrow pits A and B from where the required soil can be taken and transported to the site. The borrow pit A has void ratio 0.85 and borrow pit B has void ratio 0.95. If the cost of excavation of soiland transportation is Rs. 20/10 m3for area A and Rs. 22/10 m3for area B, which of the borrow area is more economical? G=2.67
Calculate the total operation time for this construction activity if the volume of soil to be removed is 8 cu.m. (considered 33% for bulking of materials.) The speed of dumptruck is 30 kph and travel distance (round trip) from the source to disposal area vice-versa is 6 km. The bucket size of excavator is 0.50 cu.m at 0.50 min loading time, tipping time is 4 mins. a. 15.18 minutes b. 22.02 minutes c. 25.32 minutes d. 30.00 minutes
You've been tasked with deriving a site-specific shrinkage factor for earthwork planning on your firm's current project. You have completed a test pit (shallow excavation of quantifiable volume) in the planned on-site borrow area. The excavated earth was loaded into dump trucks and weighed at a nearby truck scale, to measure the total moist weight of the earth removed from the test pit. The rectangular cuboid-shaped test pit had side dimensions of 10 ft by 6 ft by 3 ft, and contained a total excavated earth moist mass of 10.35 tons. The owner's geotechnical investigation report contains a laboratory test report indicating that the on- site borrow soil will attain a moist unit weight of 130.0 pcf (i.e., lbs/CF), when compacted to the minimum allowable compaction specification. 8. What is the on-site borrow soil's bank unit weight (nearest 1 lbs/BCY)? 9. What is the anticipated % net decrease in volume for the on-site borrow soil in a compacted condition (nearest 0.1%)? 10. If the…
